In the last quarter, earnings and net sales topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 10% and 5.8%, respectively. Moreover, on a year-over-year basis, the bottom line declined 18.5% but the top line grew 12.2%.
LYTS’ earnings topped the consensus mark in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 53.4%.
Trend in Estimate Revision of LSI Industries
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings per share has remained unchanged at 20 cents over the past 60 days. The current estimate is in line with the year-ago quarter’s figure.
The consensus mark for net sales is pegged at $128.5 million, indicating 17.9% growth from the year-ago quarter.
Factors Likely to Shape LYTS’ Q2 Results
The top-line performance of LSI Industries is likely to have improved year over year on the back of increased contributions from the Display Solutions segment, driven by refueling the C-Store vertical and the acquisition of EMI Industries. Furthermore, a diverse end-market exposure and strong commercial and operational execution are added tailwinds.
Although softer trends across the Lighting segment due to lower large project activity are concerning, sales growth in the Refueling and Parking market verticals and the tailwinds mentioned above are expected to have fostered the quarter’s top line.
Meanwhile, the bottom-line performance is likely to have been subdued during the quarter due to an increase in the amortization expenses of acquired intangible assets. That said, these headwinds are likely to have been partially offset by an increase in volume and a more favorable mix. Notably, cost synergies implemented by LYTS, coupled with stabilizing selling prices and material input costs, are expected to have aided the margins.
